Chapter 64
After leaving the airport, I hailed a taxi and headed straight for Lushan Psychiatric Hospital.
Lushan Psychiatric Hospital is located halfway up a mountain.
Surrounded by lush trees, the environment is tranquil.
I followed the nurse inside.
The nurse said, "Your mother’s condition has been relatively stable lately, but she keeps mentioning that she wants to see you and Qiao Chu."
I nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."
"You're welcome."
I followed the nurse into the ward.
Lin Yun was sitting on the bed, singing a song.
She was wearing a hospital gown, her figure thin, but her hair was neatly styled.
I walked over and softly called out, "Mom."
Lin Yun looked up and stared at me for a long time.
I bent down to meet her gaze. "Mom, it's me."
Lin Yun's eyes gradually turned red. "Lin Chu..."
I took her hand. "It's me."
Three years ago, after my father died in a car accident, my mother and I were kicked out by the Qiao Family.
When my mother was negotiating compensation with the lawyer, she lost all the money, even my living expenses.
After that, she ended up in a psychiatric hospital.
In the past three years, I rarely visited her.
I held Lin Yun's shoulder and said, "Mom, let me help you with your hair."
"Comb my hair..." Lin Yun murmured, "I want to style it beautifully, worthy of my wedding dress..."
With a comb in hand, I gently brushed her hair.
Lin Yun looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes gradually brightening: "I'm getting married! I'm going to be a bride!"
I paused for a moment.
"I'm going to be a bride!" Lin Yun stood up, dancing with joy. "I'm going to be a bride!"
Outside the door, other patients or their families shouted angrily—
"Dammit, it's so noisy!"
"All day long with the noise, can't anyone live in peace?"
"If you're going to die, do it far away; don't come here to bother us!"
...
I hugged Lin Yun and comforted her, "Mom, please calm down, calm down."
Lin Yun slowly settled down.
She looked at me and suddenly asked, "Who are you?"
I looked at her and replied, "Mom, I'm Lin Chu."
"Lin Chu..." Lin Yun frowned, "Where is my Lin Chu? Where is my Lin Chu?"
"Mom, I am Lin Chu."
Lin Yun's eyes widened in disbelief: "You are not! You are not! Where have you hidden my Lin Chu? Where have you hidden my Lin Chu?"...
Chapter 65
In the underground passage of Beijing, the cold wind was biting.
I was wearing a heavy white down jacket, sitting quietly with an easel in front of me.
I was painting the still life before me.
Occasionally, someone would pass by and glance in my direction, but very few stopped.
A man dressed in black, wearing a hooded sweatshirt, walked slowly through the passage.
He stopped in front of me, glanced at my painting a few times, then walked on.
In the following days, the man passed by here every day.
He noticed that the girl was painting here every day.
...
On the fifth day, he walked up to me and stopped.
I looked up at him.
The man said, "Hello, you paint very well."
I politely nodded, "Thank you."
"Are you studying painting?"
"Yes."
"I'm also a student," the man said, "at B University, in the Computer Science department."
I was a bit surprised, "You’re also at B University?"
"You too?"
"I'm from S Academy of Fine Arts."
The man sat down, "So you're a junior."
I looked at him, "How did you end up here?"
"Just wandering around," he said, "I pass by here every day on my way to work."
"Work?"
"My name is Wang Ming, and I'm a Hacker."
"Hacker..." I murmured, "Do you know Red A?"
Wang Ming looked at me, "I know him. Why?"
I shook my head, "It's nothing. I heard a friend mention him and said he’s quite impressive."
Wang Ming gazed at me with deep eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
After a long silence, he asked, "Are you planning to sell these paintings?"
"Yes," I replied, "but I don't know how to sell them."
Wang Ming said, "I'll help you sell it."
I looked at him in surprise.
Wang Ming continued, "I usually help people who need assistance."
"Really?" I said, feeling a bit excited. "Thank you!"
Wang Ming looked at me with a meaningful gaze and replied, "You're welcome."
He took a picture of my artwork and uploaded it to the auction forum.
That night, he told me that my painting was valued at five hundred thousand on the forum.
I was very happy. "Thank you!"
Wang Ming said, "No need to thank me, but I have a condition."
"You can say it."
"An eighty-twenty split."
"Okay."
Wang Ming looked at me and asked, "Do you trust me that much?"
I nodded.
Wang Ming then asked, "Are you in dire need of money?"
"Yeah," I said. "My mom owes a lot of gambling debts."
Wang Ming suggested, "You could ask your brother for help."
"I don't want to reach out to them," I lowered my eyes. "Especially Qiao Qiran."
Wang Ming nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
In the evening, I video called Lu Weize.
Lu Weize said, "I'll come back to see you during the Christmas holiday."
I was very happy and replied, "Great!"
After hanging up, I felt a bit anxious.
What if Lu Weize got angry knowing I met Wang Ming?
Never mind, I'll explain it later.
For the next period of time, I painted every day.
Wang Ming helped me sell my paintings while I focused on creating art.
I wanted to pay off my debt as soon as possible.
After half a month, Wang Ming told me that a painting had sold.
I was very pleased.
I said to Wang Ming, "I'm not going to paint for a while; I want to spend some quality time with him."
Wang Ming asked, "Your boyfriend?"
"Yes."
Wang Ming didn't say much more.
On Christmas Day, Lu Weize arrived.
I went to the airport to pick him up.
As soon as Lu Weize got off the plane, he saw me with a stranger.
His expression changed, and he turned to leave.
It seems there was still a misunderstanding...
Chapter 66
I didn't expect Lu Weize to come specifically to see me.
I stood downstairs at the dormitory, watching that familiar figure, feeling a bit dazed.
Lu Weize walked towards me, dragging his suitcase.
The snow was falling heavily, making his figure somewhat blurry, but his voice was very clear.
"Lin Chu, are you done with school?"
I came back to my senses and ran towards him.
I threw myself into his arms, feeling his warmth and heartbeat.
Lu Weize ruffled my hair and said, "Silly girl, why are you crying?"
He took out a tissue to wipe my tears.
I held his hand and looked up at him. "Lu Weize, is it really you?"
Lu Weize gently wiped my face. "What do you think?"
"I missed you so much." I couldn't help but kiss him.
Lu Weize tilted his head to avoid it. "I..."
I jumped back into his arms. "When did you come back?"
"This afternoon," Lu Weize said, "I came straight to your school after getting off the plane."
My heart warmed: "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I wanted to surprise you."
I hugged him tightly, feeling a bit emotional.
Lu Weize...
I missed him so much.
Lu Weize held me in his arms: "Let's go eat."
"Okay."
The two of us went to a nearby small hotel.
As soon as we entered, I couldn't wait to hug Lu Weize.
Lu Weize leaned down and kissed me.
His kiss was passionate and urgent, filled with longing.
I was breathless from his kiss but still tried my best to respond.
We kissed our way into the elevator and then into the room.
Lu Weize pressed me down, frantically tearing my clothes apart.
I closed my eyes, feeling his presence.
Lu Weize...
My Lu Weize.
In the middle of the night, I woke up.
I turned over and groggily opened my eyes.
By the light of the moon, I saw Lu Weize sitting by the bed, quietly gazing at me.
I rubbed my sleepy eyes and asked, "Lu Weize, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Lu Weize lay down beside me and wrapped his arms around me. "Sleep, I'm here with you."
I rested my head on his arm, snuggling into his embrace.
Lu Weize gently patted my back.
I closed my eyes and peacefully fell asleep.
The next morning, Lu Weize woke up.
He lay on his side, watching my sleeping face.
Unable to resist, he leaned in and kissed my forehead.
I let out a soft murmur and turned away.
Lu Weize smiled, quietly got out of bed, and left the room after washing up.
He called his roommate: "Help me look up someone."
"Who?"
"Wang Ming."
Lu Weize returned to the room and saw that I was awake, lying in bed playing on my phone.
He walked over and lay down beside me.
I put down my phone and turned to lie on top of him.
Lu Weize pinched my nose and said, "Playing on your phone right after waking up?"
I chuckled, "When did you wake up?"
"A little earlier than you," Lu Weize replied, holding my wrist. "Stop playing; it's not good for your eyes."
"Okay." I obediently set my phone aside.
Lu Weize kissed my forehead and asked, "Are you hungry?"
"Yes~"
Lu Weize smiled and said, "Then let's go eat."
I nodded, "Sure."
Suddenly, Lu Weize's phone rang.
I glanced over and saw his lock screen photo—
It was a picture of me from the New Year's Eve party.
I looked at him in surprise, "Lu Weize, you..."
